Fixed in git, commit 6d5b1656, by adding the two keycombos to the Search-in-help menu.

To reproduce, run 'src/nano --ignore' and type: ^G ^W ^V.
Hear that nano beeps but does not move to the end of the help text.
Type ^Y.  Nano beeps again.

One may say that ^Y and ^V are not listed in the help lines so no one will expect these keystrokes to work, but the help text is an almost normal buffer and ^W^Y and ^W^V work in a normal, editable buffer, so there is no reason why they shouldn't work in the help text.

Bug exists since version 4.0.  The offending commit is bc98dbca: "remove the ^Y and ^V shortcuts from the Search menus".
